New York City

Chad and I absolutely LOVE going to NYC, so we thought it was about time to take Park up to the Big Apple for his first time, and visit my little sister, Tia who is nannying up there for the summer. We drove straight to Yankee stadium to watch the Yankees take on the Padres. Yankee stadium is so old and so cool. Then we rode the subway into the city, and entered the Wicked raffle...(we are only a little bit obsessed), but Chad won!!! (this means we got to buy front row tickets for only $25) Tia met us in the city and Chad and I each saw half of the play with Tia, while the other person walked around the city with Parker. Parker LOVED New York, with all the horns, people, lights and music. He was in heaven. The rest of the trip consisted of train and subway rides, New York pizza, central park, cute little Maplewood New Jersey, shopping, oh, and I almost forgot.... Front row lottery seats at "Hairspray, " which we decided might even be a better "Front Row Musical" than Wicked. (yes, we had an extremely LUCKY, but fabulous weekend).

Ooh, I'm trying to decide which half of Wicked I would have wanted to see...thats a tough one.

Have we told you that we are obsessed with Parker at our house? Nate talks about how cute he is on a daily basis.

Nuh uh--- a BETTER front row show than WICKED? You can no longer be the presidents of the fan club. Ha ha -- sounds like you had a great time!

We're so jealous. He is such a happy baby. Love the pictures.

The only person Kamryn will ever be allowed to marry is Park. LOL

So glad Park loved NYC. What's not to love? So fun! You guys look great!

sorry you had to see such a crappy team play the Yankees! That was probably the worst part of your trip! What number was that for seeing wicked?

chad said...

11 for me, 10 for emily.

This obsession of yours is borderline addiction. Now if you'll excise me, I have some video games to play.
